The Patience Sutra
Come on
Let's steal a car
and drive to the mountains
Let's do it right now
![[Mike Romoth]](./images/faces6.jpg)
We'll buy a bottle of wine
and sit on a railroad bridge
and sing songs to the moon
We'll find a fuse
and we'll set it on fire
Come on right now
Let's go
Let's go
Coffee cigarettes whiskey sex
Let's eat everything that makes us crazy
Come on we've got to go
We can't wait even a minute more
Tonight is the end of the world
So let's dodge this catatonia
that sings us into dangerous sleep
|
We can sleep when we're dead
We can diet
when famine rolls into town
Enough of this comfort and anesthesia
Enough of insurance
car payments
love money
deadlines
Can't you see the beautiful body
you've been assigned
Don't you want to test it?
Run it like a race car?
Let's go
Let's go
Right now
I don't want to read a book
see a movie
watch TV
Let's get in a fistfight
you and I
Let's go down to the ocean
it's not that far away
We'll strip off our clothes there
and swim in the icy bitter sea
And if we cut our feet on the rocks
so be it
And if we lose ourselves in the waves
so be it
But let's do it now
Let's go
Let's go
Who here is afraid to explode?
Let's buy a gun
Let's break a window
Let's take our bicycles
to the top of the hill
and ride down no hands
cruising through the red lights
with our eyes closed
We could all get tattoos
I know a place nearby
We could all be on the next ferry
to Alaska
Let's do it all
Come on
Let's go
